Per RIDOH: 'Every physician assistant licensed to practice within the state shall be required to have satisfactorily completed twenty-five (25) hours of approved continuing medical education annually.' The PA license itself renews biennially (June 30 of odd years), but the Board requires the 25 hours each year. No mandated topic sub-hours were found in official board materials for general PA renewal; Schedule II opioid prescribers may be subject to separate one-time opioid-prescribing training tied to controlled-substance registration (reported by CE vendors, not verified on the board site).
